内容： 一篇以第一人称视角描述日本中学生早晨日常的短文，自然地融入简单现在时与过去时态的对比。

选材理由： 该主题与MEXT大纲中强调的“简单而熟悉的生活话题”高度契合。通过描述个人例行公事，学生可以巩固动词的现在时态，并通过描述“昨天”的早晨来练习过去时态。

语法重点： 一般现在时，一般过去时。

拓展建议： 鼓励学生以“Yesterday, I...”为题，描述自己昨天的行动，实现口语和写作的结合。教师可以引导学生在小组内分享自己的早晨 routine，然后用过去时描述昨天的差异。

课文：

I usually wake up at 7 a.m. on weekdays. The first thing I do is brush my teeth and wash my face. Then, I go to the kitchen to eat breakfast with my family. I always have toast and milk. Last Saturday, I woke up at 6 a.m. because I had an early basketball practice. I ate my toast very fast and left the house early. My sister was still sleeping. I ran to the park where we practice, so I arrived on time. Today, I am taking my time. My morning is very relaxed. I often do my homework in the morning, but yesterday I finished it after school. I have my bag ready for class. After breakfast, I will walk to school with my friends. We usually talk about games on the way.
